I like the updated PDR data and the wide view on the rear camera. The rest is just bling bling.

Wow! this is exciting news, a new wide view rear camera! lol.....How about some clues on what is really coming up? Like some news on the new mid engine car or the new camo car running around with new front end and bulging hood......guess Tadge is right, nothing planned Here is a suggestion for next week....give us something before Tuesday when all of the car world will be finding out about the new 900hp Demon. Guess when somebody asks what is new in the Corvette line, we can say...new colors!!!!

Another new grey exterior color?
Man, GM can't make up their mind on grey. They just need to bring back cyber grey and call it good.

How does anyone read about the Demon and begin comparing it to a Z06? It's a dedicated drag car complete with shitty little drag brake package. The Demon can't turn a corner or stop. The Demon might as well be a 1500hp Mustang for all I care.

Watkins Glen is my favorite gray by far. I assume this new ceramic gray will replace it.
I think the blue calipers on the 65th Anniversary Edition is interesting: with all the "ZR-1" pics, many people pointed to the blue calipers and proclaimed "ZR-1!!!!". Perhaps we're just going to see a 65th Anniversary Z06 with blue calipers and better aero/spoiler?

Snore... new colors and wheels. Not exactly enough to make me trade mine in! I guess the optimist would say it's already great, don't mess with it.
Weird that it took till 2018 to get HD radio. I was surprised my 2015 didn't have it because my 2010 Rover does, that's 8 years!
Is it really expensive to recertify an engine's power rating? I'm surprised they don't make incremental tweaks now and then so you pick up 10hp from year to year. There are people that would seriously upgrade for 25hp I bet, as minimal as that sounds.

What is strange is the 2014s had it, then it went away for 2015. Now back again? I don't much care either way, I generally stream 99% of the time.

I don't give a rip about the new Demon or Hellcat for that matter, my point is GM could try the same thing with giving out some information on the two new products and keep us loyal customers happy

I just picked up a new Z06 last Sunday and traded in a 2015 Challenger Hellcat and 2014 Jeep SRT8 on it. Granted the Z06 is a real sports car and I only have 100 miles on my Z06, but I can say I dont feel I took a step back. The Z06 is also a much better quality product. Yes, the Demon is going to be fast but its going to handle even worse than the Hellcat and the Hellcat doesnt like corners.. Hold your head high!
